I am not questioning for Deputy Cullinane and it is not a follow-on from his question. I am simply asking because Mr. Creed said he knew of no business in that situation. I probably picked the most similar business in existence and offered it as an example that is 30 miles away. Three very successful racing facilities exist. From Punchestown to Naas is barely three or four miles. With the benefit of the motorway, the run from the Curragh to Naas and Punchestown is probably closer and easier to navigate than the route between Shelbourne Park and Harold's Cross. It is a reasonable, given that 1.1 million people live in the greater Dublin area and far fewer people live in the County Kildare area, to question the business criteria used to justify the statement made by Mr. Creed.
